Books like Five Survive by Holly Jackson
Red Kenny and her five companions – her best friend, her best friend’s older brother, the older brother’s perfect girlfriend, a secret crush, a classmate, and a mysterious stranger—head out for a carefree spring break. The trip takes a sinister turn when their RV stalls in a remote area with no cellular signal. It quickly becomes clear that this isolation is intentional, and someone lurking in the darkness has chosen one of the group for a lethal game. With only eight hours until darkness deepens, the friends must decide whether one among them is a liar or if the threat is external. Secrets tear at the trust in the cramped RV, and tensions mount as each tries to survive the night. Not everyone will make it past sunrise.
